Just as a sanity check, my interpretation so far is that my
network<br>
should have a partition configuration file similar to the
following.<br>
Can anyone tell me if I have this correct? In this example<br>
configuration, I am trying to create two partitions. One
with rack<br>
one and two, the other with rack three and four:<br>
<br>
<br>
#Default partition (for SM control of the CA’s)<br>
<br>
Default=0x7fff,ipoib,rate=7:ALL=limited;<br>
<br>
Default=0x7fff,ipoib,rate=7:ALL,SELF=full;<br>
<br>
#rack1<br>
<br>
rack1=0x111,ipoib,rate=7,defmember=full:<GUID_list>;<br>
<br>
#rack2<br>
<br>
rack2=0x111,ipoib,rate=7,defmember=full:<GUID_list>;<br>
<br>
#rack3<br>
<br>
rack3=0x112,ipoib,rate=7,defmember=full:<GUID_list>;<br>
<br>
#rack4<br>
<br>
rack4=0x112,ipoib,rate=7,defmember=full:<GUID_list>;<br>
<br>
I've never done it this way but it does look like the partition create code
will detect the duplicated partitions (0x111 and 0x112) and merge ports from
rack2 with rack1 and rack4 with rack3. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

It will.<br>
Note that partition names are meaningless in terms of IB management.<br>
Basically they are used just for logging. The only real partition ID<br>
is its pkey.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
